For every Goonies, Karate Kid, and Back to the Future I enjoyed watching, there is also a Bio-dome, 3 Ninjas, and Time Cop on my list.
Another movie I really enjoyed a lot when I was younger was Dick Tracy. I loved the star power in that film and the bright and bold colors.
Sadly much like Karate Kid being the timeless classic and 3 Ninjas not, I can group together some pulp hero movies in the early 90s I was obsessed with.
Well for every Dick Tracy, there exists a movie like The Shadow.
Starring Alec Baldwin and based on the pulp comic series The Shadow, this film features less than good CGI effects and Baldwin's over the top acting.

The Shadow Knows
Below you will find my cards of Cutch that feature him with shadows

Do you remember watching The Shadow film?
Do you have a favorite movie that followed the pulp comic craze of the early 90s (Rocketeer, Dick Tracy, The Shadow, The Phantom, etc)?
Are there any unique images you see on the shadows on these cards, much like a "Rorschach test" involving shadows?
The 3 Ninjas! Rocky loves Emily!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the movie, but I have a couple of boxed sets of the old radio programs.
ReplyDeleteI remember The Shadow, but never saw it. As for the pulp comic movie craze of the 90's, I guess it wasn't my thing bc I don't remember seeing any of the films you listed. I do remember trading cards for Dick Tracy and The Rocketeer though.
ReplyDeleteSome of these cards have some awesome shadows... but none really called out to me. Reminds me of Johnny's Trading Spot though and his Shadow Shots posts.
Never saw The Shadow but I do remember going to see Dick Tracy with a friend. There was a trading card set and a McDonald's Scratch-off game promotion at the time, too. I dont remember all the details (i initially thought it was a Peel & Win game) but I know that Pruneface was a winner for me.
ReplyDeleteI watched The Shadow with a buddy in the theaters. We both enjoyed it, although I don't think I've seen it since.
